position on an inclined surface. Failure to heed this

Never raise the seat from its lowest position when
operating your power chair on bumpy or uneven
surfaces. Failure to heed this warning can result in the
power chair tipping over.
Never raise the power elevating seat while your power
chair is in the freewheel mode.

power elevating seat.
NOTE: The power elevating seat option is equipped with
a system that reduces the speed of the power chair to
one quarter when the seat is elevated. Always check to
be sure this system is operating properly before using
your power chair.

Positioning Belt

Your power chair may be equipped with a positioning belt
that can be adjusted for operator comfort. See figure 19.
The positioning belt is designed to support the operator
so that he/she does not slide down or forward in the seat.
The positioning belt is not designed for use as a restraining
device.
WARNING!
The positioning belt is not designed for use as a seat
belt in a motor vehicle. Nor is your power chair suitable
for use as a seat in any vehicle. Anyone traveling in a
vehicle should be properly belted into seats approved
by the vehicle manufacturer.
The positioning belt should be secured at all times.
Never allow the positioning belt to hang or drag on the
floor as it may become entangled.

To install the positioning belt:

1. Remove the rearmost screw that holds the seat hinge to
the seat base on both the left and right seat hinges.
2. Insert the screw through the supplied washer, through
the positioning belt and into the seat base for each side
of the power chair seat.
3. Tighten both screws.
COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS
Figure 19. Positioning Belt Adjustment

To adjust the positioning belt for operator comfort:

1. Once seated, insert the metal tab on one side of the belt
into the plastic housing on the opposite side until you
hear a click. See figure 19.
2. Pull the excess strap attached to the metal tab until it is
secure, but not so tight as to cause discomfort.

To release the positioning belt:

1. Press the push button mechanism on the plastic housing.
MANDATORY!
Make sure the positioning belt is properly secured to the
power chair and is adjusted for operator comfort before
each use.
Inspect the positioning belt for loose parts or damage,
including tears, worn spots, bent hardware, damaged
latch mechanisms, dirt or debris, before each use of
the power chair. If you discover a problem, contact your
Quantum Rehab Provider for maintenance and repair.
